superminis – All about car

Leasing can be an affordable, practical route into having your own private car, but it’s not always easy to tell the good deals from the duds. The experts at our sister magazine What Car? work hard to find you the best pay-monthly schemes, taking into account mileage allowance, montly outlay, contract length and initial deposit. We’ll be bringing you the best deals they find from a different segment each week. This week, it’s superminis: 1. Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.1. 5dr £1037 deposit, £173 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year Look no further for driving pleasure. The Fiesta is uncommonly good in this respect. The 1.1-litre isn’t as nippy as the 1.0 EcoBoost but precise steering and handling are ample compensation. 2. Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 SE 5dr £1123 deposit, £187 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year Agile but comfortable, spacious, well equipped, refined – if the Fiesta excels as a driver’s car the Polo is the great all-rounder, the supermini that ticks more boxes for more people. Only the noisy diesels spoil the fun. 3. Skoda Fabia 1.0 MPI S 5dr £842 deposit, £140 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year The cheapest car here betrays its status with hard interior plastics and a less than sophisticated ride. But it’s remarkable value being good to drive, spacious and practical. Skoda ranks high on customer service, too. 4. Seat Ibiza 1.0 SE Technology 5dr £910 deposit, £152 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year It lacks the maturity of the Polo but the Ibiza is an immensely talented and capable supermini. Driving pleasure and a range of strong engines are balanced by a roomy and practical interior. It’s top value, too. 5. Nissan Micra 1.0 IG-T 100 Acenta 5dr £948 deposit, £158 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year You’ll find eye-catching looks, a smart interior and good equipment levels. Where it falls down is in its average driving experience and poor rear head room, a bit of a shortcoming for a five-door-only supermini. For more great personal business lease deals visit What Car?

Leasing can be an affordable, practical route into having your own private car, but it’s not always easy to tell the good deals from the duds. The experts at our sister magazine What Car? work hard to find you the best pay-monthly schemes, taking into account mileage allowance, montly outlay, contract length and initial deposit. We’ll be bringing you the best deals they find from a different segment each week. This week, it’s automatic superminis: 1. VW Polo 1.0 TSI 95 SE 5dr DSG £1219 deposit, £203 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year The Polo’s easy-going character suits an automatic gearbox, especially one as good as VW’s dual-clutch affair. Add a smooth ride, good refinement and robust cabin, and this Polo looks free of holes. 2. Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI 115 FR DSG 5dr £1138 deposit, £190 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year The feisty Seat offers crisp handling, snappy looks and keen performance. An automatic ’box sounds like a fly in the ointment but it’s a swift-changing transmission that makes easy work of keeping the Ibiza on song. 3. Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost Zetec Auto 5dr £1221 deposit, £204 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year Ford’s Powershift automatic gearbox is an unsung hero and here it adds extra sparkle to an already great motor. It and the car’s 1.0-litre engine are perfectly matched, while Zetec trim helps keep the cost down. 4. Skoda Fabia 1.0 TSI 110 SE DSG 5dr £1236 deposit, £206 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year Auto ’boxes are tarred with the sensible brush, and you won’t find a more sensible buy than a Fabia – except that following its recent facelift the model got an injection of desirability plus a raft of new safety kit. 5. Audi A1 30 TFSI Sport S Tronic 5dr £1555 deposit, £259 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year The priciest car here justifies its premium with a blend of top-notch build quality, impressive refinement and classy cabin. The dual-clutch S-tronic ’box adds an extra layer of sophistication to a smart motor. For more great personal business lease deals visit What Car?
